Why do you play a hunter?

[toolshed]

What does the hunter do for you that is so unique? Why would you choose to be a class with so much stigma ("Huntard") associated with it?

I can solo dungeons.

[chunass]

Because I thought pets were awesome when I was 11 :^)

[Glenzig]

Great for farming gold.

[Seanimoose]

Afk autoshot

[masterpoobaa]

Filling things full of arrows, and having a cute pet.
Also fast-run at level 20 ftw.

[Rylox]

Started in Dire Maul tribute solos. Now I don't know why.
A bit more engaging than warlock with pet, and having to time around auto-shots for max damage.

Imo, most fun gameplay of all classes.
Also, feign death?

If you're really good at playing a hunter it doesn't matter what negative generalizations other people make about the class. Hunters have a huge amount of utility that can only really be countered by paladins (fuck paladins, seriously).
If they're on your faction they'll be glad that you're around.
If they're not on your faction they're probably dead.

That's been my typical experience. Bad hunters really aren't very useful past their initial burst combo.

What I never understood myself is how people can fuck up anything playing a Hunter.
This Server's PvE Release was the time I wanted to Level a Hunter for the first time but it soon got kind of boring when not in a dungeon where my FD->Freeze Traps are needed

But basically, I play a Hunter to experience the 1-60 Grind with a completely new class.
